A few minutes after, the other work

Professor Alphonse King gave a
private exhibition of his aquatic pow
ers off the steamer landing at the
Geological Gardens one afternoon
last week, in Philadelphia, says an
Exchange. The professor walks on
the water clad in aquatic shoes OF
his own invention with the same ease
a pedestrian walks down Chestnut
street. The exhibition was given
under the personal direction of Man
ager G. A. Bradenburgh and Press
Agent w. Fielding, of the dime
Museum. 1t was almost 5 o'clock
when the professor appeared in his
shoes, which much resembled nina
ture gondolas, thirty-two inches
long, eight inches wide and nine in
ches high. Paddles on the the bot
tom Of the shoes resembling fish fins
assisted the walker in his travels.
There was big crowd on both
banks OF the Schulkill when the man
began his trip. He started from the
steamboat wharf and walked to the
center OF the river. Apparently it
required no more effort than walking
on the pavement. When in the CEN
ter OF the river he raised his hat in
answer to the cheers OF the crowd on
shore, and signaled to a boat which
was towing a queer-looking machine
called an aquatic bicycle, and which
resembled the ordinary bicycle. On
the front wheel paddles like those of
a steamboat were arranged, and the
machine was balanced on each side
by narrow cigar. shaped cylinders.
The professor stepped from his shoes
and mounted the bicycle. His course
was down the river as far as the boat
houses. When that point was reached
he turned and chased the steamer
Gazelle up the river His speed was
about ten miles an hour. He made a
sharp turn round one of the p.ers of
Girard avenue bridge and returned
to the starting point. This exhibition
OF walking and riding on the water
was the first attended with success in
this country. Professor King is I'M
der an engagement TO walk from
Bedloe's island to the Brooklyn APP
proach to the suspension bridge which
spans the East river. In this he will
be backed by the managers of the
Philadelphia Dime Museum.
